Flood Construction

"I don't want to make a bad situation any worse; however, I do not believe that any building should have been done in the Big Thompson Canyon after the '76 flood. I also believe that nothing should be rebuilt there, and we should address this before people start rebuilding in the canyon. It has flooded before, and it will flood again."

"My heart goes out to those who lost lives and property in the flood, but it never ceases to amaze me that people continue to go right back to the place of disaster, whether it be floods, forest fires or hurricanes."

School Weeds

"I have an idea how Thompson School District can save money. It's not hard to see the schools with overloaded trash cans and weeds everywhere. It's filth and neglect, and the people sitting around collecting a salary are doing nothing. I know I'm tired of my tax dollars being wasted on deadbeats." Editor's note: Please call either the school or administration office with specific information on where you are seeing this.

Free Ice Cream

"To the caller who said Republicans in Congress would oppose Obama even if he came out in support of free ice cream: You're absolutely right. They would say we should all get a job to pay for our own. No free ice cream for anyone."

Health Care

"If Obamacare is repealed, it will hurt seniors, because it is through Obamacare that the doughnut hole was reduced and the free preventive care was given to seniors.

So if it's repealed, it all goes back to where it was, and no more free preventive care for seniors."

Water Quality

"I wouldn't worry about the water quality. I grew up in Chicago, and if the experts can make it clean enough to drink there, they can surely make it clean enough to drink here."

"I can't believe it. People are fishing in Lake Loveland. Do they want to get sick? Is the fishing that good?"

Stolen Furniture

"Will the person or persons who took my furniture from the alley on West Sixth Street please return it? It was not free. It was out the to dry out from the floods. I would appreciate it if you would return it."

Big Words

"To the person having trouble with long words, here are two suggestions. One: Use a dictionary. The Internet is full of free ones. Two: Subscribe to a word a day. Everyday you will get a new word in your inbox. It's free. If you follow these two suggestions, in no time you will become loquacious and you will run the real risk of becoming intoxicated by the exuberance of your own verbosity."
